Happy new year! Time to get in shape! Yada yada yada. Pass the coffee.
For most of us moms, the idea of committing to a new workout routine for a new year implies the impossible luxury of finding time to actually WORK OUT. Two hours alone in a crowded gym, waiting for a treadmill and wondering what to do next actually sounds like a delightful way to escape reality, doesn’t it? Sigh.
Stop longing for shared, overbleached sweat towels and dirty looks from the Lululemon posse waiting for your elliptical machine! The truth is, most gym-goers spend way more time driving, changing, resting, chatting, and feeling self-conscious at the gym than they actually do exercising. Then there’s the whole childcare situation… taking time away from our little ones is stressful even for an event we’ve been looking forward to; for a grueling, crowded trip the gym, giving up on snuggle time feels like cruel and unusual punishment.
